Zepher
Can you etch a bead encased with Zepher?

I've read that most Double Helix glass is resistant to etching, but I don't know about Zephyr specifically. I love Zephyr but haven't etched in quite a while.
Maybe some other peeps will chime in.

I don't know if you can chemically etch it, but you can definitely tumble-etch it.

Some say you can't, I can, I think it depends on the solution used? I use etch bath from armour.

why would you want to waste super clear Zephyr in etching solution?

It's the only clear I have, and sometimes you can see bubbles in lesser glasses.
